Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for your attendance here this afternoon.
Ms. Bourgeault, I'll start with you, in terms of the pandemic. I didn't think we'd hear any information or testimony related to the pandemic in this study. I'm glad you raised this. I was looking for recommendations you feel the committee might want to consider as they relate to course correcting with respect to the issues you've raised. You might have been able to further elaborate on those issues if you had more than five minutes for your opening statement.
Can you expand a bit more on the impact of the pandemic? What do you suggest the committee should consider in terms of policy improvements related to the same?
